I’m am beyond grateful to have Dr Patel as my oncologist. I’m fighting an aggressive stage 4 cancer. Survival odds for 5 years are around 4-5%. With Dr Patel using his genius skills to battle the cancer, I believe I will achieve remission. He has kept me alive and living a good quality life for 3.5 years. I never give up and neither does he.
